Charlie Hebdo Staff Ponder Bittersweet New Success After Jihadi Terror Attack

By Angelique Chrisafis, Feb. 24, 2015, TheGuardian.com

A new issue of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo hits newsstands on Wednesday, with a cover depicting the far-right leader Marine Le Pen, Nicolas Sarkozy, a bishop, a jihadi, a banker and a TV news crew as a rampaging pack of hounds.

The issue marks a return to business as usual for the magazine targeted in last month’s terror attacks in Paris.

In recent days, Charlie Hebdo staff have admitted struggling to come to terms with their new reality after the attack on 7 January which killed 12 people, including the editor, Charb, and some of France’s best-known cartoonists. The magazine is currently operating out of a temporary space in the offices of the daily newspaper Libération, with massive round-the-clock police protection. It is unable to move into a new Paris location until the officeshave been bullet-proofed and secured.

Khurram Shahzad, Jan. 23, 2015, AFP

The clashes broke out when police fired smoke canisters and shot into the air to disperse a group of protestors who began chanting "Down with Charlie Hebdo" after emerging from mosques.

Friday's rally in Islamabad was led by the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) party, and though peaceful demonstrators burned French, British and American flags, while urging Pakistan to cut ties with Paris and calling for a boycott of French products.

Anti-Charlie Rally In Pakistan Draws 5,000

Mubasher Bukhari, Jan. 18, 2015, Reuters

On Friday, protesters trying to storm the French consulate in the southern city of Karachi shot and injured a photographer working for French news agency AFP.

Saeed called for more rallies next Friday. He says he has no links to militancy these days and only runs a charity, which is banned by the U.S. government for suspected militant links. The U.S. government has offered $10 million for information leading to Saeed's conviction.

Bloody Rivals: Paris Attacks Helps Al Qaeda Outshine ISIS

By Steven Edwards, Jan. 11, 2015, FoxNews.com

The terrorist rampage at a Paris satirical magazine left the West reeling, but the attack was also the latest salvo in a lesser known fight, the public relations war between Al Qaeda and the Islamic State in which the prizes are funds from extremist benefactors around the globe and Muslim radical conscripts ready to kill and die on command.

Friday's claim from Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) that it had directed the jihadist brothers, whose commando-style raid Wednesday left 12 dead at Charlie Hebdo, would appear to be a coup for the older and more established terror network, which for much of 2014 was overshadowed as Islamic State gained momentum.

Charlie Hebdo Has Long History Of Poking Fun At Religious, Political Establishment From Paris Offices

 Sasha Goldstein, Jan. 7, 2015, New York Daily News

The publication went under in 1981 before being revived in 1992. It quickly took to satirically skewering a wide-range of political and religious figures, from Pope Benedict XVI and former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. One cover depicted an Orthodox Jew kissing a Nazi soldier.

The small-circulation paper generally is left-leaning, using cartoons and fake news reports to take shots at those generally in powerful positions.
